Thread: Garmin nuvi 465T stuck on load maps

Your pic is indicating that it's trying unsuccessfully to enter Mass Storage Mode which is usually only initiated when the device is connected to a PC with a USB data cable. Check that there is nothing in its microUSB socket, if in any doubt clean the socket contacts carefully with a little dedicated electrical contact cleaner and be sure to blow it out to ensure it's fully dried before reconnecting a USB cable. If that doesn't fix it then read this: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. If you need further help with the process read this: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Then post back here saying exactly the circumstances leading up to this situation and what steps you've already tried. Note that if the symptom is caused by a hardware fault in the USB connections to the main board or a failure on the board itself that a software fix such as using Cure firmware cannot help. Importantly check if the device can enter preboot mode, hold the upper left corner of the screen while powering it on by connecting to a PC then see if is showing in Windows Device Manager under "Garmin Device". Also attempt to hard reset it by holding the lower right corner while powering on and advise if the device's current state allows that.

Yes the photo indicates the device is connected to PC in preboot mode.

Did you reformat it rather than removing only some corrupt files? If you made a files backup before reformating then it may be possible to recover your favorites and recent history by re-naming "current.gpx" to "temp.gpx" and putting it back in the device's GPX folder. Be aware that if it was that file which bricked it then it will simply brick again so it might be safer to replace the data such as "Home" by re-entering manually unless you're prepared to maybe have to un-brick it again.

Most other files can be replaced using GarminExpress, that includes the device's official detail map entitlement. It won't offer a new basemap however and if you don't have a files backup then you can get one from here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
